Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 19 June 2012
516 Deputy Pádraig Mac Lochlainn asked the Minister for Justice and Equality if he will outline in detail his plans for the future structure of Garda divisions and the locations of all Garda stations to remain operational in County Donegal in order to alleviate growing concerns in the county.

View answerUnder the Garda Síochána Acts 2005-2007, the Commissioner is required to submit, before November of each year, a policing plan for the forthcoming year. Any proposals for the closure of Garda stations or the altering of Regional or Divisional boundaries must be set out in the plan. The Policing Plan for 2013 has not yet been prepared and therefore it is not possible to say at this stage what it may contain although I expect that it will contain measures to address the ongoing issue of rationalisation of the Garda station network.
